Specification of Letters Patent.

' Application filed March 5,1906. Serial No. 304,160-

To all], whom, it may concern;

Be it known that I, EDWIN M. ROSEN- QUIST, a citizen of the United States, residing at St. Paul, in the county of Ramsey and State of Minnesota, have .invented certain new and useful Improvements in Wearing- Apparel, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in wearing-apparel, its object being to provide improvements in the pockets of mens trousers and overalls designed to prevent coin or other articles dropping from the pockets when the wearer is in stooping or reclining position.

To this end my invention consists in the features of construction and combination hereinafter particularly described and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, Figure 1 is a front view of a side pocket detached and fitted with my improvement. Fig. 2 is a section on line 90 a; of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a view of a supplementary pocket forming part of my invention removed from the main pocket, and Fig. 4 is another form of supplementary pocket.

In the drawings, A represents an ordinary side trouser-pocket formed on its outer side with a vertically-extending hand-opening 2. In the form shown in the drawings a supplementary pocket 3 is secured between the side walls of the pocket A below the lower end of the opening 2. The lower open end 4. of the supplementary pocket preferably inclines upward, so as to be in a better position to catch any articles falling out of the pocket. Arranged in the upper end of the trouserspocket close to the opening 2 is a second supplementary pocket 5, which, as shown, opens toward the bottom and rear side of the main pocket A.

With the ordinary form of pocket when the wearer lies down or indulges in any exercise which inverts the pocket the coin or other articles therein will frequently drop from the pocket through the opening 2. l/Vith my pocket when the wearer lies down or indulges in any exercise which inverts the pocket the coin or other articles therein will either be caught by the supplementary pocket 3 or if the mainpocket is sufliciently inverted to cause the articles to drop along the inner wall they will be caught by the supplementarypocket 5. The idea of the invention, essentially, is to secure means forming part of the main pocket and which will serve as a supplementary pocket to catch and hold any articles within the main pocket when the main pocket becomes inverted on account of any position assumed by the wearer.

I claim A main pocket, comprising opposed walls separated at a point to form a vertically-extending hand opening, a supplementary pocket arranged below the lower end of said hand-opening, said supplementary pocket opening toward the bottom of the main pocket, but closed toward the hand-opening, and a second supplementary pocket arranged at the upper end of the hand-opening, said second supplementary pocket opening toward the bottom and rear side of the main pocket, but entirely closed at the side adjacent to the hand-opening. I I

In testimony whereof I afliX my signature in presence of two witnesses.
